2. The Borax Method The use of borax in gold extraction, often referred to as the borax method or borax flux method, involves mixing borax with crushed gold ore and then heating the mixture to form a gold-silver alloy. Borax acts as a flux, reducing the melting point of gold and facilitating its separation from other minerals in the ore.
Details
The mercury-free gold extraction method uses borax in the process of gold smelting. Borax is used in the smelting process because it lowers the melting point of gold and other metals. In this method, the mining of gold-bearing ore, the grinding of the mined material and the concentrating from sluicing are the same as in the amalgamation …
